Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The acting in this movie is really good.
I watch quite a few non English speaking films and this one certainly has to be in the highest grade.Pointless me telling you about the film as it's already been explained, but I would like to add, this really is one of the most funniest films I have ever seen, it's truly perfect in every way,full of highs and lows. Wonderful atmosphere throughout the entire film as well as some wonderful characters, the song that runs through the film sung by two gypsies, "Za Beograd" is a wonderful toe tapping tune that was so popular that apparently it was sung and the end of most discos. I saw this film in Belgrade in 2000, I am so glad that I did, believe me when I say, this really is one film you should see before you die.
View MoreFor all of you not coming from ex-Yugoslavia, the movie can be considered as confusing...Well it would be hard to explain its nature, but if I need to put it in one line message it would be-" A black humor metaphor about Serbian mentality sliced into thousands of layers which are working simultaneously, in one specific and important moment of our history, German air attack on Belgrade and beginning of WW2 for Yugoslavia" . Each character represents specific stereotype, deeply rooted in our heritage, and we are enjoying in laughing at ourselves and our prejudice ( however, not so liberal when the same has been done by someone abroad:))) Nevertheless, this is just for your better understanding and convenience, it should not drive your conclusions as the story is universal most of the time and honest, and considered to be "the best film ever made" in former Yugoslavia. You'll not find heroes in it, nor Hollywood happy ending, just a bare, brave and sometimes brutal strive for better life. Hope you'll enjoy it, if not, forgive us on our specific and somewhat "bitter sense of humor", but that would be the story of our lives...
View MoreI like this movie a lot, but it's a fact, that you cannot understand it, unless you're from the ex Yugoslavia. Most of the actors are now dead and those were the best actors in ex Yugoslavia. I appreciate that this movie is now on Divx and I can have it in my collection. Macedonia. Serbia. Montenegro. Bosnia and Herzegowina. Croatia. Slovenia.All of this was ex Yugoslavia, a melting pot of the Balcan nations. It could be a dream land, if Slobodan Milosevic, Franjo Tudjman and other nationalists wouldn't poison the nation's mind with their sick ideas.
